Abstract :
Inertial navigation technology is used widely for the guidance of aircraft, ships and land vehicles, as well as in an increasing number of civil applications such as robotics, surveying underground well bores and the control of drilling operations. This article describes the techniques and the sensors used in modern systems and outlines a number of applications in which inertial system technology is being used today
